Famous Monsters of Filmland second issue of the new Ack-ives magazine. Choice of two different Hammer covers: retail/newsstand cover art of Christopher Lee as Dracula by Sanjulian or San Diego Comic-Con 2019 Exclusive cover art of Lee as Frankenstein's Monster by Sanjulian. 120 pages.

Classics for the color generation. This is how people began to describe the series of Hammer horror films that began in 1957 with THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and eventually went on to introduce DRACULA, THE MUMMY, and other iconic monsters to the new set of fans growing up with FM in the 1960s and '70s.

Universal's black-and-white classics had paved the way, but Hammer's were a whole new ballgame, advertised as bloody, sexy, and much raunchier than their American counterparts.

Hammer Films also ultimately made superstars out of actors Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, who reprised their roles as Count Dracula (Lee) and Victor Frankenstein/Van Helsing (Cushing) enough times to define the roles for a worldwide audience.

Enter Famous Monsters Ack-Ives Volume 2: The House of Hammer.

The retail/newsstand Cover A features Sanjulian's depiction of the great Christopher Lee in his iconic Dracula role -- dripping fangs, bloodshot eyes, and all. The 2019 SDCC Exclusive features a variant Cover B by Sanjulian of Christopher Lee in his iconic role from THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957)!
